A Novelty in Steam Engines.

The Case Engine Company has been formed in New Britain with capital stock of $500, ,OOO. of which $225, 900 is cash and S75, ,OO0 represented by patents The invention is of unique character, and the history of its development reads like romance. Mir Joel T. Case, the inventor, has spent large portion of his time on it for the past fifteen years and has been laughed at by sceptical machinists and others, but he has perse- vered, spending time and money, and at last has solved the problem. With a few pieces of cast-iron he has construct ed ten-horse power engine that is only eighteen inches long and eight inches wide. It is wonderful inven- tion as the engine can be suspended from the wall like piece of shafting, or set in any position desired, and can be run at very little expense. He will get $50, 1000 in cash for his patents and S75,0O0 in stock, and he could dls- pose of the latter for cash if he desired. MT Case is brother of Mrs Dr Gidman of this village.

 A man near London recently made bet that he could kill, clean, cook and eat a spring chicken in fifteen minutes.

At the close of eleven and a-half minutes he had the chicken bones beautifully polished.-lGood House keeping.
